The biggest problem I try to convey is that you have no way of knowing you'll get the rejection without putting the work in first.
So you, like me, wasted probably days (if not weeks) to create a fully functional app, spent much of that time on user-facing functions that you would have probably not needed, only to find that it was for nothing.
It's not like on Android where you can just share an APK with your friends.
TestFlight still has to review your betas, if you want to at least share the app with someone else.
- nate 4y agoThanks! Yeah, exactly. Even put in the work and a little but of money to create a slightly fancy icon. Called it Somersault to convey how easy it was now to switch lenses, and the icon was a camera somersaulty conveying kind of thing. But alas, not published, and haven't touched iOS dev again.
- kyleee 4y agoDisgusting, I am sorry. I love gestures and it sounds like you came up with a very neat app
- liminalsunset 4y agoThe maddening/frustrating part is that Apple ACTUALLY APPROVED almost exactly the same thing, and ironically, by another commenter elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32526387 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32526387 The app is by the same developer, and is findable at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zero-ui-gesture-only-camera/id960929710 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zero-ui-gesture-only-camera/id... So clearly, the App Review process is not deterministic, and highly dependent on which reviewer you get or something similar.
